| After seeing the direction of the Rhubarb post in the Gallery, I thought I'd start a thread for all your favorite rhubarb related recipies. (After all...once you plant rhubarb, you'll have it for life...and so will your neighbors, friends, relatives, co-workers... ;-) kinda reminds me of zuchinni.
So here's mine... Mom's Rhubarb Saskatoon Custard Pie 4 tsp. flour
Mix first 5 ingredients in bowl. Put fruit in (unbaked) pie shells. Put butter shavings on top of berries, pour sauce overtop. Don't overfill. Cover with pastry & bake 450*F - 10 minutes, then reduce to 350*F for 20-30 minutes. This also makes a killer berry pie - replace rhubarb/saskatoons with fresh saskatoons and blueberries.
What are some others?? Verena |

| What is Saskatoons??? Sorry never heard of it before. LOL Thought after I read it yesterday it meant some kind of cookie but not now. LOL The recipes sound wonderful. I make cobbler but never really have a recipe except for the topping which is the best for fruit cobblers... Going to print these... Oh - what would substitute for Saskatoons? |

| Echoes, Saskatoons are wild berries, Amelanchier alnifolia. I think Americans call them Service Berries or June Berries. They're similar in a lot of ways to blueberries but grow on a tall shrub. I'm not sure if they are native to your part of the mountains. Some people say they taste like blueberries with a hint of almond. Anyway you could substitute blueberries without changing much. |

| I forgot to mention, about the Rhubarb Pudding Cake Recipe, it seems like weird quantities of ingredients and every time I make it I think -this can't work. But it does! And also it's hard to get the dough spread over the rhubarb in once piece, don't worry if it has gaps, just try to keep the dough on top and the rhubarb on the bottom. |

| Well Gil... all I have to say is "YUMMMMM!" DH is a big fan of rhubarb so being the dutiful whife I am, I whipped up a batch of your Rhubarb Pudding cake. It is great! I usually cheap out on sugar but this time around I thought I'd better follow the recipe as written and am glad I did. Yup, this one is a keeper. Going to have to try Verena's pie recipe but DH was spoiled as a child with huckleberries & looks down his nose at saskatoons - lol Not sure if huckleberries would be a good substitute in this case, they're pretty tart little guys and that might tip the sugar scale... |

| Yay! I'm so glad you made the cake and liked it! :0) My DH turned up his nose at it the first time, said he doesn't like "roobur" (his Grandma calls it that,LOL), but when I forced him to try it he said it tasted like apple pie and polished the rest off. |
